Rodgers is confident that Suarez will be a Liverpool player next season, but has warned his squad of the dangers of speaking about their club while playing for their country.

Asked if Suarez would be moving on soon, the manager said: "No."

And he added: "I always say to players that I've got a very, very simple rule: When you're with Liverpool, just talk about Liverpool. When you're away with your international teams, just concentrate on your international team - and there's no drama.

"So what he says when he's away with Uruguay, or what the England boys say, that's of no great relevance to Liverpool."

Rodgers is aware that controversy tends to follow Suarez around, but is not concerned about the striker's reported comments.

He said: "I haven't spoken to Luis yet. He was obviously back yesterday, later on in the afternoon, and we just ran the medical team over him, and he was training this morning.

"I haven't spoken to him. Obviously, every time Luis goes away, there's always something. But all I'm aware of is that we've got an outstanding football player, who has given everything for the club and he's very happy here."
